4 Theatre Professionals came together to work on pieces about childhood, the Troubles in Ireland, and fidelity. After our first rehearsal, we discovered that we were victims of sexual assault. What has resulted is our theatre piece, Mum's [Not] the Word. Incest, clergy molestation, rape and abuse and how we cope all rolled into an hour and 15 minutes of truth, honesty and humor.
